„Lithuania, the first of the Baltic States, has built a liquefied natural gas terminal. It is a strategic energy project that will determine our future.

At the same time, it is Lithuania's great victory. Lithuania has developed the terminal project by itself, independently. It took us only three and a half years to deliver it. We are now an energy-secure state. The Klaipėda LNG terminal will play a very special role - it will be a security guarantee for the whole region.

If necessary, it will be able to cover 90 percent of the three Baltic States' gas supply needs. From now on, nobody will dictate us the price for gas - or buy our political will. [...] Today's event is a turning point on the path of our freedom and further proof that we can seek ambitious goals and stand responsible for the future of Lithuania.“ (President D. Grybauskaitė, 27 October 2014), read full speech.
